Ohman was reassigned to minor league camp last week and will be given his unconditional release. The 35-year-old should resurface as a left-handed specialist. Sat, Mar 9, 2013 10:09:00 AM

Nationals signed LHP Will Ohman to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Ohman, 35, posted an ugly 6.41 ERA over 32 appearances for the White Sox last season, but he's held left-handed batters to a .210/.294/.348 batting line during his career. The Nats have no left-handers that are a guarantee to make the Opening Day bullpen, so it's a good spot for the veteran southpaw. Mon, Feb 11, 2013 11:38:00 AM

Will Ohman has elected free agency.

On the surface, Ohman struggled through his 26 2/3 innings with the White Sox in 2012, posting a horrifying 6.41 ERA. He did post a solid WHIP of 1.05 though, and a 13/5 K/BB ratio, and most of the ERA damage was due to allowing six home runs. He'll attempt to latch on elsewhere as a left-handed relief specialist.

Reds signed LHP Will Ohman to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A Louisville.

Ohman was released by the White Sox earlier this month and will look to continue his career with the Reds. If promoted to the majors, he'll be used as a left-handed specialist. Sat, Jul 21, 2012 03:26:00 PM

Nationals manager Matt Williams said that Jayson Werth (shoulder) will be limited early on in spring training.

Werth underwent surgery in early January to repair the AC joint in his right shoulder. The original timeline called for 2-3 months of rehab time and he's currently a little over six weeks into the process. He's aiming to be ready for Opening Day, but it's going to be close.

Nate McLouth (shoulder) expects to be ready for the beginning of the 2015 regular season.

And he could start in left field on Opening Day if Jayson Werth (shoulder) isn't ready. McLouth underwent surgery last August to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He's nearly up to speed with the other position players in Nats camp this spring.

Nationals outfield prospect Brian Goodwin will be monitored in camp after having surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder late last season.

It doesn't sound like anything that might put his availability for Opening Day in question. Goodwin, 24, is set to return to Triple-A to start the season after struggling in his first go-round at the level in 2014 with a .219/.342/.328 batting line.

He's now set to throw three bullpen sessions per week over the next four weeks. "It's great. It's a good feeling because it's been over a year since I've been on the mound," Davis said. "It's a major milestone for me, but I understand that the work is not done. I'm going to keep working hard on the field." Davis likely won't be game-ready until around midseason. He can aim for a September call-up.
